In that case, it might be worth not sparking a debate! People are free to allude to their beliefs as long as they are not directly denigrating others and don't go on for pages but it is requested that those things don't get picked up and turned into debates.

Thanks,

ps. ... and no quoted pictures while the contest is running please, even in off-topic posts

Some of the people are just in a catch 22. Some of them are there cause it is the life they have chosen. Either way we are there rain snow or shine.

This speaks volumes about the economy. It is also that much harder for people to give what they dont have, so it speaks volumes about you and your family, as well.

I think your work captured the essence of the assignment, and more importantly, the grim nature of current economic situation. Nice work. If this was a photo contest, you got my vote. Thanks for posting.

Kind regards,
FTE

My Title: Whatever It Takes.


I wanted my shot to represent that in this economic climate we are having to do whatever it takes to get by.

Shot in raw,no flash, natural light. I desaturated a bit in Adobes raw converter, opened in Pse7, built up a few layers, overlayed, as I wanted to create a harsh look, then flattened all and saved as a jpg.
